Drawn from the Senses

Registration Now Open!

Description: This new 3-part workshop shares the joy of creating art through our senses. As we explore and produce artwork through our sense of touch, hearing and smell, we will expand how we create and interpret art.  This workshop is for anyone who is curious about building, interacting and understanding art in non-traditional methods by reducing the precepts of “visual” art and elevating all the senses.  

Who will love this workshop? Anyone motivated by creativity and would love to explore and develop their personal artistic language in a non-traditional format. Each week we will apply a different sense in our creations from smell to touch to sound.  

Dates: Thursdays 18 April, 25 April and 2 May

Times: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Fee: $90

An art piece of a violin created by using a printmaking method called relief printing.

Fun fact: This image is from last year’s Drawn From The Senses workshop. It’s a relief of a violin created on a styrofoam plate using a metal chopstick. Each relief was then used to create monoprints.
